This is a normal everyday occurrence. But (A) if he was a young white male the media would be wagging its finger at the old video game wiping boy. (B) Sarcasm.

I am beginning to worry about my own well-being. There are way too many psychos out there.

Don't be fooled by the media hype. There's nothing to fear and nothing to be too concerned about. Life itself is risk and that's how life is. It's all risk.
As for the topic, I'm getting sick and tired of this media hype. They cover random shootings but never shootings in poor neighborhoods or gang-infested areas.

This. The media fearmongers. It's the same if not worse everywhere else.
there are shootings everywhere.... we can't comment until we receive clear objective information and unbiased evidence

This is not biased "evidence". What are you talking about.
This incidents make the news....but they are far from common.I am beginning to worry about my own well-being. There are way too many psychos out there.

8-9k gun deaths in the US, nearly 13k something over all last year. If you would hear about every single one, you would be constantly paranoid.
Yes, so more than once a day somebody get shot and killed. However it's usually gang related or happen in poor areas and doesn't leave the local news. Most of the rest that aren't gang-related are not just random acts of violence. Rather they are somebody targeting somebody else they know. Somewhere like 90% of murders are people killing people they know.
Also, we have 341 million people living in the US (that's including illegals and whatnot, just total number of people here). Your chances of getting murdered are very slim. You have a much better chance of getting hit by a drunk driver (like 35k drunk driving deaths last year) than getting murdered.
As long as it stays in the USA I couldn't give a f**k.JohnF111Eh....mass shootings have been known to happen in other countries.
There used to be this problem in many sports venues in the US. Unruly fans would race onto the field and disrupt the game. The cameras would all pan to them and they'd be soaking in the attention. Then, all the sports networks and venues, made a smart decision. If any fan ran onto the field, there would be no media coverage of it. They would wait until security grabbed the guy and then resume the broadcast. Since then, these disruptions have all but ceased to happen. Maybe the media could learn something about this from how they cover shootings. STOP FCKING immortalizing these shooters and splashing their picture across the country. It seems to encourage others.

As long as they stay in other countries then I don't care. You're demonstrating the same lack of empathy that these mass shooters have. People in your country should lock you up.
Then you would have a bunch of spiky hair youngsters out to save the world or something like that.We should legalize gunblades.

But the media wants ratings, they want these types of things to keep happening because it leads to better ratings.There used to be this problem in many sports venues in the US.

I don't work for the hair gel lobby I don't know what you're talking about shush.
I once thought that banning or restricting guns was a solution, but now I don't think so, because that would leave law abiding citizens at a disadvantage. Perhaps we need armed guards everywhere, or more police officers.

I agree.
The gunman, identified by neighbors as Jimmy Lee Dykes, a 65-year-old retired truck driver, was known around the neighborhood as a menacing figure who once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a shotgun.

Clearly it was self defense against a tyranical government. How can this man expect to live without his 2nd amendment when the communist muslim kenyan government is imposing a police state upon him and infiltrating his private property with child suicide bombers?

Why cover gang shootings? Beligerants who hate each other try to kill each other? How is that news? What is news, however, is a crazed man shooting innocent people seemingly at random...

Well, a gang shooting is not going to outrage suburban America much. A while school shooting will. You have to understand that media corporations are not here to report the news. That's not their job. It's to deliver loaded agitprop and make billions out of sensation, public outrage and the rape of the public's emotions.[QUOTE="WiiMan21"][QUOTE="Bucked20"] Gang members are people too,its not just them being killed either BluRayHiDef
